It’s no secret that TEAM loves its television. When Stranger Things made pop culture’s nose bleed from how good it was, we turned Ocean’s Telephone Co. into our own gay Upside Down through Stranger Flings. Beki Cooper, our homo’s homage to the show Riverdale is similar.

While we’re back basking in the red light glow of OTC, we ruled the space like show’s teen queens. Walls were covered in old Betty & Veronica comics; our Blossom-red cocktails were rimmed with lickable maple syrup; and Jughead crowns and River Vixen pom-poms bobbed up and down as the crowd murdered the dance floor to the beats of Judd Figuerres, Boy Kills Robot, and Jujiin.

Consider it our own version of high school: where kids vogued down the hallways and queer quarterback hostess Vic (dressed in just a football jersey) schooled everyone on how to make out effectively. In the end, no one really cared who killed Jason Blossom when you had the cast of Hanging Out (rocking the new TEAM cap) getting frisky with each other by the lockers.

About Team

TEAM tackles how gay Filipino men relate their identity, from fuckups to fantasies, to where to go for music you can actually dance to. We may not have proper rights in our country but we’re claiming some authority by getting our words and ideas on page. And though we lack public places to convene, an open publication (and wide-open digital space) is a good place to start.
